The High-Stakes Risk of Missed IP Calls
Missed Urgent Trademark Opposition or Patent Prosecution Deadlines Due to After-Hours Calls
IP law firms frequently face time-sensitive deadlines in trademark oppositions (e.g., responding to a notice of opposition within 30 days) or patent prosecution matters (e.g., filing a reply to an Office Action within 3 months). With 62% of IP law firms reporting lost clients due to missed calls, a delayed response during weekends or evenings—when key deadlines loom—can result in abandoned applications, forfeited rights, or irreversible procedural defaults. For example, missing a call about a pending inter partes review (IPR) petition filing can jeopardize a client’s ability to challenge a competitor’s utility patent.
Clients Abandon Due to Delayed Response on High-Value IP Portfolio Management Inquiries
A potential client seeking help with IP portfolio management—such as evaluating a design patent portfolio for international expansion or assessing trade secret protection strategies—expects immediate engagement. Yet 89% of legal clients expect a callback within an hour. In IP law, where clients often compare multiple firms for complex matters like prior art searches or NDA drafting, a 2-hour delay can lead to a lost opportunity. One firm reported losing a $120,000 IP licensing deal because the client called after hours and received no response.
Overloaded Schedules Prevent Response to Critical Copyright Infringement Alerts
Law firms managing copyright infringement cases—especially those involving digital content, streaming platforms, or AI-generated works—must act swiftly to issue takedown notices or file DMCA claims. With 43% of IP law firms missing more than 10 calls per week, a delayed response to a client’s after-hours alert about unauthorized use of a registered work can result in loss of statutory damages eligibility. For instance, missing a call about a viral YouTube video infringing a client’s copyrighted software interface can cost the client up to $150,000 in statutory damages.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were on the verge of losing a major client’s utility patent portfolio because we missed a call about a responding to a USPTO Office Action during a weekend. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve answered every after-hours call—especially during critical deadlines like IPR filings. Last month, we secured a $90,000 IP portfolio management contract after a client called at 10:45 PM and received an immediate callback with a proposed action plan.”

Managing Partner, IP Strategy Group LLP, Intellectual Property (IP) Law Firms
“I was skeptical about AI handling trademark opposition calls, but the system remembers past client interactions—like a prior art search we conducted for a client’s brand logo. When they called at 1:30 AM about a new opposition notice, Answrr pulled up the full history and scheduled a consultation with our lead attorney. We filed the response on time and won the case. That’s not just convenience—it’s a competitive edge.”

“During a high-stakes trade secret protection audit, a client called at 11:17 PM asking for help drafting an NDA for a new product launch. Our team was offline, but Answrr answered, recorded the request, and synced it with our calendar. The next morning, we had the NDA ready. That client has since referred three other tech startups. In IP law, timing isn’t just efficiency—it’s risk mitigation.”
